After recuperating from a brief illness, former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, who was hospitalised for a couple of days and was discharged apparently with an advice to rest for some more days, on Tuesday visited Mysuru to resume his election campaign for the party candidates.
On arriving here, Mr. Kumaraswamy, accompanied by JD(S) candidates G.T. Deve Gowda and S.R. Mahesh, prayed at Sri Chamundeshwari Temple atop Chamundi hills before attending the party workers’ meetings in Chamaraja and Krishnaraja constituencies in Mysuru city where he urged them to take the elections seriously and strive for the party’s victory.
“I had no other option but to resume electioneering ignoring the advice for rest. I have the task of bringing the JD(S) to power in the State. We are aiming to win at least 7 to 8 seats in Mysuru district. The candidates have to win the confidence of the voters and our party workers must visit every house in the constituencies seeking support for the party. The support to the regional party is like supporting the people of the State,” said Mr. Kumaraswamy, while addressing the meeting in Krishnaraja – Nimmondige Kumaranna - where JD(S) candidate K.V. Mallesh, a Lingayat, has been fielded.
